i think it's working

I've hardly spent any money at all since the big shopping trip pity party. I think that choosing to do the debt snowball as a way of shifting focus has really renewed my energy. I have a small debt that I will be able to pay off shortly after saving up my emergency fund that will definitely be motivational, and that should happen sometime in September. The moral of the story is, change it up!

My Mission- Final Year

The Year of Frugal Living blog started in January 2008 as a year long challenge to pay off debt and gain a better understanding of what it means to be financially responsible. Over the course of the year, I not only paid off 18.4 percent of my debt, but I changed the way I think about spending, saving, and what is important in life. My plan of paying everything off in a year hasn't exactly worked out the way I wanted it to, but I continue to work hard every day to achieve my goals.
